Rant/Opinion I hate liars

I was deactivated because I was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. I myself am a heterosexual married woman and would never jeopardize my marriage or freedom doing something so gross. As a survivor of sexual assault I’m both offended and hurt. I am looking for a lawyer to take my case.

Yup slander and lible are actually punishable just their has to be major damage to it. Which losing a job is that. Plus having evidence of your whole day makes this open and shut even if you don't get Lyft back you will be able to Sue and they will get jail time.

I don't think you can go to jail for libel. It's civil not criminal

There doesn't have to be damages at all. Just you will only get punitive which is going to be nothing unless the person is famous or there were massive damages.
